can you run monte carlo ss wheels with 5/8s rear studs

[Outlawed81]

can you run 87 monte carlo ss wheels with 5/8s rear studs?

 

[malijuice]

no unless u drill them out but i still wont run them

I don't think you can..I have half inch studs on the rear of my wagon with stock pontiac wheels...fits, but not a lot of wiggle room...5/8" is a big stud

you still have to deal with the taper for the lug nuts.

THOSE WHEELS DONT USE A TAPERED LUG NUT .. THEY USE WASHER AND A SMALL SHANK LUG NUT

 

[t5montecarlo]

Incorrect. They have a tapered hole and nut.

 

[z28krazy]

If they're tapered, then you need to open the holes up to fit the 5/8' stud and then countersink them to fit a tapered 5/8' lug nut. However, the question is; is the bore on the backside of the wheel the same as the locator diameter on your axles? If too small, they'll need to be machined to fit, if too large, I wouldn't use them.

There are 3 different N90 wheels. One is relatively rare. It's 14" x 7" & is for 80/81 non-Z28 Camaro. One is 15" x 7" with shouldered lugs for 80/81 Z28. The one with tapered lug seats is for 86/88 Monte SS & has 3.75" back spacing. The 15" Z28 wheel physically fits, but the back spacing is 4.25" & will rub stock suspension. The 15" Camaro wheels are stamped FA, YS & YT. The 14" wheels are stamped BN. IDK what the Monte SS wheels are stamped. There's lots of numbers on mine & I never looked close enough to try to figure out which ones are the ID.
